From Commandline i would like to add a folder in Github Copilot.

Why? I have some scripts that setup and create the folder, branch etc. After that i MANUALLY have to add that folder path to Copilot app. I would like to AUTOMATE this step.

Functionality i want from commandline:
"Local folder or repository.."

Example of feature:

\AppData\Local\Programs\GitHub Copilot\github.exe --add-local-folder="/path/to/folder"

Start with the GitHub Copilot app's github.exe command-line handling and the existing “Local folder or repository..” flow under /chat. Determine how the requested --add-local-folder path should be accepted and verified on Windows. Done means a folder can be added through the command line without manually selecting it in the app.
